We mentioned it as a rumor a few days ago and now…its pretty much confirmed by ESPN.

The Marlins and Giancarlo Stanton have agreed to a $325 Million deal broken down into 13 years with an opt-out after the sixth year for Giancarlo. This averages to $25 million per season, or $154,321 per game. its the biggest professional sporting contract…ever.

Stanton’s 2014 season ended Sept. 11 when he was hit in the face by a pitch. Despite missing the final 17 games, he led the NL with 37 homers and a .555 slugging percentage for the Marlins, who went 77-85 but ended a three-year streak of last-place finishes in the NL East.

The Marlins have said they’re not concerned the injuries will have lingering effects. They made locking up Stanton their top offseason priority and overcame his skepticism about their efforts to fielding a winning team.

The Marlins believe they’re poised to contend next year with a young roster than includes right-handers Jose Fernandez and Henderson Alvarez, Gold Glove left fielder Christian Yelich, center fielder Marcell Ozuna and shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria.

Stanton made a team-high $6.5 million in 2014. The two-time All-Star right fielder recently won the NL Hank Aaron Award and was voted the NL’s outstanding player in balloting by his fellow major leaguers. He won a Silver Slugger Award and finished second to Clayton Kershaw in NL MVP voting.

Stanton likes to travel in the offseason and spend time in his native California. But he attended the Miami Hurricanes’ home football game Saturday against Florida State, and now he’ll be staying in town for a news conference.
